In the game, participants pick the winners of all main draw matches and are placed in a knock-out system. That means each participant plays a different participant and whoever predicted the winner of most matches correctly, moves on to the next round. The same applies for doubles, but you're in a team format and your scores are combined.

- In case of a tie, a tie-breaker match for which the score (as opposed to just the winner) is given, will decide who moves on to the next round. For all participants, this tie-breaker match is the same and will be assigned beforehand.
- In case a player (i.e. the actual ATP Player) retires in a match, this match will be counted as long as one point has been played. If players are replaced by a lucky loser after the start of Tennis Tipping, these matches will be cancelled.

How to Sign-Up:

Just post here that you would like to play.
You can only play one tournament per week.
You must commit before the designated time. For this tournament, that time is 21:00 in Buenos Aires, Argentina (-3 GMT).

For help with timezones, use this - www.timeanddate.com/worldclock.
For help with timezones, use this - www.timeanddate.com/worldclock .

Picks can be sent in as soon as the draws are ready. Remember, you pick a winner in every match! Picks should be sent by PM, so that your opponent does not know your picks. Picks should be titled: [TT: Asuncion, day #]. Picks can be sent in anytime until the beginning of play each day. Because of the chances of 1st and 2nd Round matches being played on the same day, you should send in tips each day, even if you're not sure if you've made the next round. If you're still in both singles & doubles, you use the same tips for both. For doubles, you still tip the ATP singles matches, not the doubles! No changes can be made.

If you go out in the first round, you should still send in your tips for the second round as there are usually a certain number of participants who forget to send in their tips. Only in the second round will the highest scoring losers from the first round be used as lucky losers if any second round player forgets to send in their tips to avoid walkovers.

PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE

If the board goes down as has happened before, send your picks to zfelipe@hotmail.com

Matches start at 5.00PM Paraguay, 8.00PM GMT.. The europeans will be sleeping during the matches... :)
I will accepts picks change until the start of play...........
You will be able to see the stats in the next post ( #6)

first post is to sign up for a TT tournament...am I the only one suspicious? :unsure:

Why is the flag USA if he is your brother?

And even if it is your brother, he could of at least said it in his post, instead of just signing up for doubles with you. Even you have to admit it looks really suspicious.

I'm still not fully convinced though.

Why did he commit for the tournament and then sign off in less than a minute? :shrug:

It doesn't matter if you are doing well on one, you could just want a better chance of winning.

11-06-2006, 02:40 AM

Alright Rob, I didn't ever make "such a big deal about it"

All I said was I don't buy it, which is an opinion that I am entitled to have, while you said stuff like:

:wavey:

it's allowed when no evidence of cheating is found

it's not up to the players to question other players integrity in public without any solid proof of cheating, if they suspect something is going on, they should contact one of the tt board members (Gavnich, invu2day, keqtqiadv, A_Skywalker or myself) via PM and they will take the issue to the mods.

I didn't mean to accuse Rob of doing anything, after all we often play doubles together and I wouldn't direct malice towards him. At the same time the post count caught my eye, and since MTF doesn't employ any restrictions on who can play games I just thought it would be wise to kindly raise a little red flag. :angel:

I have never played this before, so I have nothing to lose against the #2 seed.

Well, i think I did really well since I haven't followed the ATP tour in my whole life and hadn't heard of 99% of the players before. If only Cuevas had won that final set I would be in the next round!

Well done Lt*Alonso*Cl :yeah:

And thanks GustavoM_Fan for enouraging me to play and for your patience! :hug:

i ope not only for tt ,i hope for brian tha he really won !!

from the tournament directors,not from the site .what did you mean money paid ?

It's called betting. If the bookmakers have paid money on those results, then they are correct.

What makes you think the results are wrong? The results come from the tournament and then it's updated onto the ATP computer.

thats the reason ,the petrobas site is from brazil ,not from paraguay .and also the ato site and two national newspaper put that cuevas won and dabul won .

I am not convinced that the results are any different and as for where the site is based it doesn't matter as the same group sponsored the events in Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and now in Paraguay.

The ATP make mistakes all the time with results, they got one wrong with Vicente and Berlocq saying Berlocq won when he retired and the tournament site said Vicente won.

They got one wrong with Mantilla when he lost a match, yet he was in the OOP for singles the next day.

Still, we are not sure about that, since there's some doubts about the results... :confused:

manu, if you don't believe it, then ring up yourself.
its not an issue if i beleive or not ,maybe the atp can be a mistake ,but if the national newspaper in paraguay put on the nespaper that cuevas won so i think thats its a better place to beleive and not a tournament site whu put the score from brazil and not from paraguay .like you said the atp makes error becouse they receive the score by computers but also the petrobas site receibe the score on the same way .

we just need to wait and see who put the real score.
also its not a matter if i lose in the tt ,becouse also if they change the results(cuevas and dabul)i will be whith the same victories like yesterday ,so i think that i am lost ,but so,eone need to check the score to see which are the rigth scores.

This will not avoid another fall in first round :sad: , but I think that my TB score is not correct. I think that it had to be 15 instead of 18:
I've pick Carlos Berlocq 6/1 4/6 6/2
and the result was Carlos Berlocq 6/3 6/2
